Musical Dharma Talks and Retreats

Bliss Hippy offers:

* Dharma Concerts, an evening of song, celebration and meditation. These powerful gatherings offer a joyful path to centering in turbulent times, with messages that empower personal transformation and encourage the unlimited possibilities of an expansive heart.

* Musical Dharma talks and full day retreats (lead by Maureen Hall and supported by Bliss Hippy music). These focus on mindfulness, from a Buddhist perspective and songs are integrated throughout the talks as a way of emphasizing the principles being presented. Maureen’s Dharma talks focus on the Four Bramaviharas, Mindfulness and Non-Dualism.

Maureen has taught and practiced mindfulness based Buddhist meditation for over a decade including:

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in Mind-Body Medicine Certification with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli from the Continuing Education Department at Omega Institute. More info on MBSR at Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School

Serving as "Dharma Troubadours" providing musical support for meditation retreats lead by the Venerable Pannavati.

Richard, who has practiced Buddhist meditation for over a decade, and is also certified through the Omega MBSR program, often joins with Maureen to provide music that punctuates the Dharmic principles throughout the talks and retreats.
